Customs and Immigration

NEVIS

Yachts clearing in to Nevis should pick up one of the five yellow Quarantine bouys located off the ferry dock at Charlestown. The dinghy dock is on the smaller concrete pier just to the south of the ferry pier.

Proceed to Customs, located on the second floor of the Cotton Ginnery, which is through a courtyard behind the dock area. When clearing in be sure to ask for a coastwise cruising permit if you intend to visit other anchorages. Customs is open 0800-1200, 1300-1600 weekdays, and half day on Saturday.

Immigration is located in the police station, to the right on main street about three blocks. Captains should also check in with the Port Authority at the Charlestown dock to arrange for a mooring.

If you have already cleared in on St. Kitts, contact the Nevis Port Authority on VHF 16 when approaching the island and ask for instructions.

The Nevis Port Authority has installed 100 yacht mooring buoys along the western coast, and now requires yachts to pick up a mooring; anchoring is no longer permitted. The mooring fields are laid out at Pinney's Beach (from the Double Deuce to Sunshine's), Nelson's Spring, Cades Bay, Tamarind Bay (5) and Oualie Bay (3). The moorings are first class.

Mooring fees for 2008-2010 are

Up to 35' - $10 US for up to two days, $15 for 3-7 days; 36' - 60' - $15 US for up to two days, $20 for 3-7 days; 61' - 90' - $20 US for up to two days, $25 for 3-7 days. The fees are the total cost for the time period, not per day.
